With this very violent group of people in Syria and Iraq,
the world is watching with horror as atrocities are committed and experienced
by the innocent.
Day after day, this is brought to my attention by my friend
Lui, who cannot seem to look away. I believe that there are many people on this
planet right now who are horrified, but cannot look away.
People don’t know what to think about the horrors. They are
appalled. Some people want to destroy this group which is so violent. Some just
wish that they were not doing as they are doing.
I know that this is all happening for a reason. Everything
serves the awakening of humanity. Everything serves our highest good. But I
couldn’t understand it. I couldn’t understand why it is happening in this way.
Yesterday, bored at my computer during the work day, I found
a film on Netflix to watch, just to pass the time. It is called ‘Waiting for
Armageddon’ and it is a documentary film about Evangelical Christians who are
absolutely convinced and totally believe that the prophecies of the Book of
Revelations are coming to be on the Earth. They believe that all the ‘true
believers’ will be raised up to Heaven with Jesus, the Christ in a “rapture.”
And after that, the unbelievers will mostly be killed in horrible ways, through
acts of terrible violence and God’s wrath.
I only watched part of the film and then my work day was
over and I had errands to run.
When I returned from my errands and had eaten supper and
watered my garden, I came back inside and thought again about the beheadings
and torture and other atrocities being committed by the group that people know
as ISIS. I felt again the confusion and I wanted to understand. So, I asked for
guidance from Yeshua. I said, “Yeshua, please guide me. Help me to understand
the purpose of this group. Why are they doing what they are doing?”
The answer was immediate and incredibly clear. It is as if I
were channeling Yeshua. Well, as I frequently do channel Yeshua, I guess I was.
Here is what came through as the answer to my question:
“They are showing all of humanity its darkness. They are
showing all of humanity those parts of itself at which it does not dare to
look. To fully understand, change the pronoun. Change ‘they’ to ‘we’ and ‘he’
or ‘she’ to ‘I.’
And I have done this before, on a more personal level and
felt the power of this exercise of changing the pronoun. So I did that. They
are killing anyone who does not believe as they do. We are killing anyone who
does not believe as we do. They are incredibly cruel and judgmental. We are
incredibly cruel and judgmental. And I knew in that instant that it is so. And
that their actions, showing us our darkness, are necessary at this time. And I
was able instantly to feel unconditional love for them, as I feel unconditional
love for all of humanity in all of our darkness.
A few moments later, I sat down at my computer and decided
to watch the end of the documentary film about the Evangelical Christians. And
as I was watching, one of the comments from a person interviewed was, “They
believe that everyone who does not believe as they do will die, and they are
glad about this…” or something very similar to that. I don’t have the words
exactly, but that was the meaning of it. And I said, “Wow. Look at how I have
shown myself so clearly the truth of what I realized, through Yeshua’s guidance
and grace which I had requested.”
All time is now. It is all happening right now. So, the
brutalities of the Crusades, when Jerusalem was knee deep in blood from those
killed, according to accounts of people who were there, the incredible
cruelties and injustices of the Inquisition, when people were burned alive in
front of their own children because they did not live their lives as others
thought that they should, and many other atrocities, too numerous to mention –
all of these are being shown to us in the actions of the group called ISIS. And
so what is our response? What can we do that will be the highest response, the
most wise response, the most loving response?
We see ourselves in them. We take full ownership and
responsibility for the darkness that is our legacy as human beings. We change
the pronouns. ‘They’ becomes ‘we.’ We do this. We have done this. And as with
all of our process through these times of Ascension, we accept that which we
are, that which we have been. We accept all that we are. We – with courage –
see ourselves in them. And we forgive ourselves for our darkness, our fear, our
cruelty, our arrogance. We send unconditional love to those aspects of ourselves
that behead children, rape girls in front of their mothers and do many other
things that seem impossibly horrible. It isn’t easy. But it is our darkness. We
face it and we accept it as part of what it is to be human. It is not ‘them’ –
some demonic monsters out there whom we can condemn and do our best to destroy.
It is we. It is us. And it cannot be destroyed. That is why it is still there,
showing itself to us as it must do, especially now.
Finally, we send unconditional love, the divine love that is
the Christ Consciousness come to Earth, the love that we are, that we have
brought ourselves to be through years of work in awareness and ruthless honesty
with ourselves.
And as we do this, we heal the terrible wounds that are
represented by these actions, these actions undertaken by the group called
ISIS. These wounds are in us. They are our darkness. As Yeshua conveyed to me,
they are showing us our darkness. They are not separate from us. They are an
aspect of us. So we bring ourselves to acceptance and unconditional love.
For me, this is the best, the highest, response to these
happenings. I feel this in my heart.
